Phi Drive has developed a new generation of high precision rotary actuators. Characterized by high torque/mass and torque/volume ratios, Phi Drive actuators develop a high efficiency without the use of lubricants.

High precision rotary actuators

Our actuators work by using innovative mechanisms which have originated a number of patents. The innovation of our mechanisms is based on the exploitation of the elastic deformation of materials.

Our selection of rotating drives has a rigid ring at his heart, and piezoelectric or pneumatic actuation systems are used to produce its elastic deformation, which is in turn conveyed into a controlled, accurate moviment. Changing the dimensions of our components, we can develop high speeds and torques, without giving up on a precise positioning. This principle allows a rapid costumization, which let us meet your more compelling requirements.
